The final piece to my homemade treadmill desk arrived from Amazon today. This is the end result:
The laptop holder is a Surf Shelf I bought from Amazon. Because the packaging was damaged, I got mine for $35. With the materials to build the keyboard shelf, the whole thing (NOT counting the treadmill) cost me under $60 to set up, along with a little elbow grease and perserverence.
I like the laptop holder a lot, because it holds the screen in a position where I can walk upright and look ahead, instead of having the laptop on the shelf below–that didn’t work for me.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to type and walk. 🙂
You mean you built that without knowing if you could walk and type at the same time? Blessings on your house and I hope you have Pia’s grace and dexterity.
LOL, Juliane–I watched lots of videos and talked to people, but when it comes right down to it, the only way to do it is to do it.
Love it! Hope you master it
I gave my sister a treadmill As an exercise incentive … Which we seem to have misplaced…. But she does have a very creative revolving clothes horse in her bedroom now! lol!
LOL, Cathy… I had a treadmill years ago that I loved and used until it died, so I’m hoping to rekindle that love now.
I have to replace my treadmill. The motor burned out on my original one and I miss it dearly. Recommendations?
Hi Juliane, check Sears and NordicTrack quickly–I bought mine on sale for $599. It’s regularly $999. I was able to get the treadmill and a 3 year warranty from Sears–which includes belt replacement (expensive!) and a yearly tune up–for just under the regular price. Sears also delivered and set up for free. Good luck!
